675 Some campgrounds on islands on the lake may be affected.
670 Islands above and below the dam will become partially covered.
668 Water will be at the bottom of the bridge on Conerross Creek at Highway S-184, Martin Creek at Highway S-65 and Seneca Creek at Highway S-210.
667.5 Water will be at the bottom of the Highway SC71 bridge over 26 Mile Creek.
665 Recreation areas near the lake such as Long Point, Ashbury, Singing Pines, South Carolina River, Boyles and 12 Mile will be closed. Camping areas such as Springfield, Oconee Point, Watsadler and Georgia River will likely be closed. Creeks that drain into the lake will be effected by backwater especially on Old Jewell Road. Floating faclilites on the lake and along the banks of the lake will begin to flood.
664.5 Backwater affects on local streams will cause flooding of some low areas and roads such as dr johns road. Picnic areas, boat ramps, campgrounds and recreation areas near the lake shoreline will begin to flood.
663 At this stage water starts to flood low spots in yards of homes along the lake and water starts to backup into local creeks that feed into the lake.
662 Water management threshold, expect more frequent inflow forecasts.
